Taming Tips?

[GuineaPigFan15]

Can you please help me out before I get my piggies? I was wondering if you have any easy taming tips to share with me? What worked for you and your piggies? Thank you for your help!​

I always sit around their home and offer treats like cucumber to encourage them to speak to me.

Food! Lots of hand feeding & talking to them on their level rather than towering over them

All of the above, lot's of talking and offering titbits. Are they indoor piggies ? If so it can be a good idea to remove hideys until they are abit tamer, they will get used to you far more quickly

I would not remove hideys as they will feel very scared. It is vital they have hideys to feel safe and secure.

I second this. It will make them more timid and less likely to come near you.
